...this led the Alumni Bulletin to cite Harvard, in 1912, as a "good example of the direct service a University can do to the country by intelligent foresight and readiness to open up new fields of study." The Alumni Bulletin was speaking somewhat before the fact. In 1925, Baker, after having spent more than ten years in an attempt to persuade the University to permit him to solicit funds for a decent theatre, slipped quietly away to Yale, in what Morison calls the greatest victory of Yale over Harvard in the twentieth century. Two years later the word was revealed...

Phil Murray, Walter Reuther, Alexander Whitney and other brasshats of labor had issued statements; Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. lent his name and presence. As for a trend, the Republicans could cite one: the Taft-Hartley Act is apparently not a liability to them, and it is going to take something more than demagoguery to make it a red-hot 1948 issue...

After six treatments, anybody can sleep with...
...short, stocky figure makes an appearance, sheathed in a collegiate overcoat and topped with a fine head of gray-streaked hair parted in the middle. His bearing is impressive and authoritative, and he is ready to tackle any sort of knotty problem which may be baffling his underlings. To cite one instance out of many, a proctor had begun to suspect an examinee of resorting to a crib sheet, but wasn't sure enough to make an issue of it. Mr. Leonard took over masterfully by casually asking the suspect to move to another seat: in the process of moving...
